Hey Guys. Can anyone tell me if its possible to get from Bray to the city centre by public transport before 6am on a weekday? The best I can come up with is the first Dart from Bray station at 5.38am that arrives around 6.18am in Pearse or the 5.30am Luas from Cherrywood that would arrive just after 6.10am in Stephens Green. Afair there's no parking at the Cherrywood Luas so I may as well drive into the city centre and get there on time.

Neither of these options would get me there before 6am. Alternatively, what is the cheapest all day day parking in the city centre? I think most car parks don't open until 7am which would be a problem. Thanks.

Aircoach?

Nope. You can only go to the airport, the clue is in the name

[Mr.Crinklewood]

Aircoach to the airport and then another one back in?

Best bet would be a taxi.

If its a regular commute then a moped might be best.

There is an 84 from Newcastle at 5am, which passes through Bray and calls at Cherrywood Luas.

There is also a 7D from Dalkey at 5.20, but not sure if that's an option.

+1 on the moped, you'll get in and out of town no bother

Fast and costs very little in fuel

What bit of town are you going to?

Found this site - http://www.parkopedia.ie/parking/dublin/ - seems that Parnell St opens at 6.30am and is €13.50 for 24 hours. You won't beat that in a taxi!

That site gives details of all (or a lot of) carparks in Dublin.

Thanks for all the replies. I actually have a motorcycle but I was looking for alternatives for when the weather gets worse, having to get changed etc and the security of the bike while I work because there is no staff parking. I had thought about the air coach but the job is near Nassau St so it'd be decent walk from the stop at the Point each morning.

KD345, I can't find anything about the 84 at 5am on their website. I don't suppose you can post a link. All I can find is a timetable for the 84X that leaves Newcastle at 6.30am http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Jour...metables/84x1/

[KD345]

Here you go, it's the first departure from Newcastle.

I don't think it will help you, but connecting with an early Luas, you'd be in town for about 6.30.

The 7/7D 0520 from Dalkey goes via Shankill (former shopping centre) then onto Cherrywood bridge and into the City as a 7. On a good day 610am.

Of course you'd never guess that from the timetable would you?

Legally, you could go vis the airport, but it is rather impractical. It would be a 2 hour, €19 journey - you could get a hostel for that price.

To get the staff rate on Aircoach, I get the impression you need airport ID.

Confusing the entire community .

Ive no info on Bus Eireann, there is a 2/133. The 2 is a 24hr service BUT bypasses Bray. Maybe check Wexford air express and St.Kevins Glendalough bus services.
